If a compound has a molar absorptivity of 200 L/(mol·cm) and a concentration of 0.01 mol/L, what is the absorbance at a path length of 1 cm?
Step 1: Identify the values given in the problem. The molar absorptivity (ε) is 200 L/(mol·cm), the concentration (c) is 0.01 mol/L, and the path length (l) is 1 cm.
Step 2: Write down the Beer-Lambert Law formula: A = εlc.
Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula: A = 200 L/(mol·cm) * 0.01 mol/L * 1 cm.
